ROI Impact
An automated elevator monthly inspection schedule triggers inspection appointments based on regulatory calendars, assigns qualified technicians, sends notifications, and updates compliance records automatically—eliminating manual coordination while ensuring no inspection deadline is missed.
How This Automation Works
Monthly date reached or inspection due date approaching → Inspection scheduled, technicians notified, compliance records updated automatically
Monitor Inspection Calendar
The system continuously tracks each elevator's monthly inspection cycle, comparing current dates against scheduled inspection requirements and last completed checks to identify upcoming due dates.
Trigger Inspection Scheduling
When an elevator's inspection becomes due within 5-7 days, the automation initiates the scheduling process and retrieves elevator specifications, location details, and regulatory requirements.
Assign Qualified Technician
The system checks technician availability, certifications, and proximity to the elevator location, then automatically assigns the most appropriate certified professional to the inspection appointment.
Send Inspection Notifications
Automated notifications are sent to the assigned technician with inspection details, equipment specifications, access instructions, and checklist requirements. Building management also receives confirmation.
Update Compliance Records
The scheduled inspection is logged in the compliance database with appointment details, assigned personnel, and expected completion date—creating an auditable record of proactive safety management.
Capture Inspection Results
After completion, the technician submits findings through the system, which automatically processes results, updates safety records, identifies issues requiring follow-up, and generates compliance certificates.
Schedule Next Inspection Cycle
Upon successful completion, the automation immediately calculates and schedules the next monthly inspection date, ensuring continuous compliance and uninterrupted safety monitoring.
How It Works
Managing monthly elevator inspections requires precise coordination of technicians, timely equipment checks, and meticulous compliance documentation. This automation eliminates manual scheduling errors by triggering inspection appointments based on regulatory calendars, automatically assigning qualified technicians, sending pre-inspection reminders, and updating compliance logs immediately after completion. The system tracks inspection history, flags overdue checks, generates regulatory reports, and ensures every elevator meets safety standards without administrative overhead. By connecting inspection schedules with technician availability, equipment databases, and compliance management systems, building managers maintain continuous safety compliance while reducing coordination time by hours each month.
The Trigger
The automation initiates when the calendar reaches the scheduled monthly inspection date for each elevator unit, or when an inspection becomes due based on the last completed check. The system monitors all elevator assets and their respective inspection cycles, triggering workflows 5-7 days before due dates to allow adequate technician scheduling and preparation time.
The Action
Once triggered, the system automatically creates inspection appointments in the scheduling system, assigns available certified technicians based on location and qualifications, sends detailed notification emails with equipment specifications and access instructions, logs the scheduled inspection in the compliance database, and sets follow-up reminders. After inspection completion, the system captures results, updates safety records, generates compliance certificates, and schedules the next monthly inspection cycle.
